Pam Cayton | Founder | Tara Redwood School, California, USA

In 1989 Pam started Tara Preschool, based on Lama ThubtenYeshe’s concept of Universal Education, now known as Essential Education (EE). EE is a secular, scientific approach to awakening compassion and wisdom. In 1996 the preschool expanded into an Elementary school, Tara Redwood School, which is the leading pilot school in the west for the development of EE. In 2008, Pam founded Creating Compassionate Cultures (CCC) that develops training programs, tools and resources in this unique methodology, for anyone anywhere working with children, youth and families.
